Bloom World Academy officially inaugurates Nexus Centre
Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Bloom World Academy (BWA) officially inaugurated its Nexus Pre-University Centre, a hub redefining IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) and IB Career-related Programme (IBCP) education. Bloom Academy proudly welcomed Her Excellency Aisha Miran, Director General of the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), for the official opening of the Centre. During her visit, Her Excellency was accompanied by Nilay Özral, CEO of Bloom Education, and John Bell, Founding Principal of Bloom World Academy, on a guided tour of the Nexus Centre. Designed to mirror a university-style learning environment, the Centre equips Grade 11 IB students with academic excellence, real-world experience, and future-ready skills necessary for success in higher education and beyond. Far more than just a study space, the Nexus Centre is a holistic learning ecosystem that integrates independent study, mentorship, and collaborative learning. Key facilities include dedicated study pods for deep focus, collaborative seminar and tutorial rooms, meeting rooms, a library, a student café, relaxation zones, and a common room area. Flexible learning hours ensure students have unrestricted access to resources and faculty support. In addition, the Centre incorporates structured timetabled lessons to ensure a balanced and comprehensive educational experience. Dr. Wafi Dawood, Chief Executive Officer of Strategy and Institutional Efficiency Sector at the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) said, "We congratulate Bloom World Academy on the opening of their Nexus Pre-University Education Centre. This innovative initiative aligns with the goals of Dubai's Education 33 strategy and reinforces the importance of lifelong learning. By providing tailored life skills to each student, the programme enhances their readiness to succeed at every stage of their lives, preparing them to actively contribute to the growth and development of Dubai's future." Nilay Özral, CEO of Bloom Education, said: ' The Nexus Centre exemplifies Bloom World Academy's vision for post-16 education, bridging the gap between school and the real world. Bloom Education is proud to support this transformative initiative, empowering students to think independently, gain real-world experience, and shape their own futures with confidence.' John Bell, Founding Principal of Bloom World Academy, commented: At Bloom World Academy, we are redefining the way education is delivered, and the Nexus Centre is a launchpad for students to build a future of their choice. By combining world-class IBDP and IBCP education with cutting-edge facilities, we empower students to think independently, take control of their learning journey, and thrive in an evolving global landscape. Recognised globally as the gold standard in post-16 education, the IBDP imparts critical thinking, research, and problem-solving skills, making students highly sought after by top universities, including Harvard, Stanford, and Oxford. The IBCP, with its unique career-related learning component, integrates real-world industry experience with academic study, equipping students with practical skills and professional readiness. With its emphasis on academic rigour, independence, curiosity, and a well-rounded skillset, IB education nurtures resilience and adaptability, giving students a competitive edge in university applications, particularly as IB results are released ahead of A-Level results. He added: The overwhelmingly positive feedback from our students and parents is a testament to our promise of doing things differently, and since welcoming Grade 11 IB students at Nexus in September 2024, the strong support from our community has allowed us to cultivate socially happy, emotionally attuned, and future-ready students.' Nexus embraces a flipped learning approach, providing students with course content and materials upfront at the beginning of the year, allowing them to take ownership of their academic journey. This method enhances engagement, performance, and adaptability, aligning with student preferences over traditional learning models. Beyond academics, Nexus integrates real-world experiences through industry partnerships with businesses. Students also benefit from a future-ready life skills programme, covering financial management, well-being, leadership, entrepreneurship, and emotional intelligence, ensuring they are equipped for success in higher education and beyond. As a fully authorised IBDP/CP school, BWA provides an extensive array of educational pathways encompassing the Diploma Programme (IBDP) and Career-Related Programme (IBCP). In addition, BWA offers Business and Technology Education Council (BTEC) diploma courses which will be part of the IBCP, including Engineering and a pioneering short course in AI, reflecting the school's commitment to innovative and dynamic learning experiences. The Nexus Centre for Post-16 studies also offers scholarships of up to 100% based on merit and is committed to delivering top-tier education to the local and global community.
